Acts 17:10-15
New American Standard Bible
Paul in Berea
10 (A)The brothers immediately sent (B)Paul and Silas away by night to (C)Berea, [a]and when they arrived, they went into (D)the synagogue of the Jews. 11 Now these people were more noble-minded than those in (E)Thessalonica, [b]for they received the word with [c]great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so. 12 Therefore, (F)many of them believed, [d]along with a significant number of (G)prominent Greek (H)women and men. 13 But when the Jews of (I)Thessalonica found out that the word of God had been proclaimed by Paul in (J)Berea also, they came there as well, agitating and stirring up the crowds. 14 Then immediately (K)the brothers sent Paul out to go as far as the sea; and (L)Silas and (M)Timothy remained there. 15 Now (N)those who escorted Paul brought him as far as (O)Athens; and receiving a command for (P)Silas and Timothy to (Q)come to him as soon as possible, they left.

Paul and Silas in Berea
10 Now the brothers sent away both Paul and Silas at once, during the night, to Berea. They[a] went into the synagogue of the Jews when they[b] arrived. 11 Now these were more open-minded than those in Thessalonica. They[c] accepted the message with all eagerness, examining the scriptures every day to see if these things were so. 12 Therefore many of them believed, and not a few of the prominent Greek women and men. 13 But when the Jews from Thessalonica found out that the message of God had been proclaimed by Paul in Berea also, they came there too, inciting and stirring up the crowds. 14 So then the brothers sent Paul away at once to go to the sea, and both Silas and Timothy remained there. 15 And those who conducted Paul brought him[d] as far as Athens, and after[e] receiving an order for Silas and Timothy that they should come to him as soon as possible, they went away.
